Chapter 166: The Road Paved by My Father



"A risky tactic is a good way to survive in a desperate situation. Zhu Hong used this tactic well."

After Shen Ruoyan returned, he was amazed at Zhu Hong's courage.

Self-affirmation is the most difficult thing in the world. However, once it is linked to life and death, it is easy to be believed.

Because no one would joke about his own life.

But Zhuhong, she did it!

"Madam, Concubine Hong's move is too dangerous! When I caught her, I felt like I heard the sound of the hairpin cutting her flesh..." Qiu Ye is still in shock. She was the one who caught the hairpin, so she is the only one who knows how sharp the hairpin is!

Why didn't she just grab a knife?

Shen Ruoyan slowly smiled, "This is what makes her extraordinary."

People's inherent thinking is difficult to break.

If Zhuhong just used an ordinary hairpin to pretend, she would be exposed soon.

To put it bluntly, she was able to shock Lu Jing and dispel all his doubts because she was willing to risk her life!

Only by truly risking her life can she win Lu Jing's unconditional trust - Zhu Hong really wants to kill herself!

Many women only dare to think about it, but when it comes to actually doing it, they are hesitant.

This is also why they are always sad about the passing of time but can never change the status quo.

But Zhuhong was the complete opposite. While she was thinking about it, she had already started to do it.

When others didn't dare to think about it, she had already done what no one dared to do!

To be honest, if he had met such a concubine in the palace before, Shen Ruoyan would have tried to win her over and drag her into his own camp.

It is easy to find teammates who are like pigs, but it is hard to find a helper who is like a god.

"By the way, Qiuye, is your hand okay?" Shen Ruoyan asked with concern.

She had arranged Qiu Ye in advance, but at that time she just thought that Zhu Hong would take some extreme actions, but she didn't expect that she would not only be cruel, but even more cruel to herself.

Qiu Ye's hand is still tightly wrapped, and they say that he cannot get wet until the wound is fully healed.

"It's much better now. It's just a superficial wound. It looks scary, but it's actually nothing serious." Qiu Ye didn't take it to heart. Instead, he thought of Zhu Hong and said with lingering fear: "I heard that Aunt Hong's belly will have a scar in the future. How pitiful."

Zhu Hong hit too hard, and although the injury was stopped, it will leave a scar forever.

However, Shen Ruoyan did not think this was a pitiful thing, but rather, it was her luck.

"Maybe Zhuhong is really looking forward to it." Shen Ruoyan smiled slightly and kept it a secret.

Qiu Ye scratched her head in confusion. Her injury was on her hand, not her head, right?

Why do I feel like I don’t understand?

On the other hand, Chunxi next to her looked at her with a half-smile, which made Qiuye even more confused - so, she was the only one who didn't understand?

And at this moment, there was one more person who shared the same suffering as her.

"Sister, aren't you worried about the scar on your belly? When the Marquis comes to your place in the future and sees this scar, aren't you worried that it will spoil his fun?" Liu Lu was very anxious. She collected a large basket of scar removal medicine and brought it all to Zhu Hong.

However, before she could explain the effects of these medicines, Zhu Hong asked her to take them all away, not even one!

"Sister, you are not really thinking of dying and having no desires, are you?" Liu Lu was frightened and didn't care about the medicine anymore. She came up and touched Zhu Hong's forehead to see if she had a fever.

Otherwise, why does it feel like everyone is burned out?

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhu Hong smiled softly, "I barely managed to save my life. I'm being very careful!"

Liu Lu was even more confused, "Then why are you..."

Zhuhong shook her head and gently placed her hand on her belly, silently comforting her.

This time, the little guy in my belly was really scared.

But thankfully, it was resolved once and for all, and from then on, her identity was finally clear.

"Not only will I not be able to make this scar disappear, but I will keep it on my belly forever. That way, whenever the Marquis sees it, he'll remember what happened today, and he'll never doubt the child's parentage again."

Unless, there is a real blood test on the spot to prove that the child is not his.

But even so, she still has a way to confuse right and wrong.

By then, Lu Jing would only feel guilt and heartache towards them and their son.

However, Zhu Hong would not allow such a thing to happen unless it was absolutely necessary. Otherwise, she would not have to go to such great lengths, almost risking her life, to act out such a scene.

Didn’t Fang Rou want Lu Jing to doubt the child’s origin?

But unfortunately, from today onwards, in Lu Jing's heart, this child is definitely his own flesh and blood - even if he dotes on Fang Rou, what if he takes the child into account?

After all, who has the biggest bargaining chip, her or Fang Rou?

With Lu Jing's return, the undercurrents in the backyard of the Marquis' Mansion began to surge again.

Lu Jing was immersed in the joy of his child, but he also heard about Lu Yan's popularity outside.

However, compared to Madam Lu's disgust, his attitude was somewhat different.

"Madam, Hong'er is pregnant now. Regardless of the gender of the child, it will ultimately be the bloodline of our Marquisate. Now that Yan'er is no longer afraid of going out, she can take her younger brothers and sisters out more often in the future. What do you think, Madam?"

Perhaps because he was afraid that Shen Ruoyan would be unhappy, Lu Jing explained considerately: "The main purpose is to let Yan'er feel what it's like to be a brother, so that he can have some sense of accomplishment."

Shen Ruoyan discovered that Lu Jing hadn't made much progress in other areas during this trip, but his way of speaking had changed a lot.

Look, I can now tell lies with my eyes open, which is indeed progress.

No wonder he didn’t mention Lu Yan to me for so long. It turns out he was waiting here!

As for younger brothers and sisters, in Shen Ruoyan's opinion, Lu Jing must have already concluded in his heart that Zhuhong must be pregnant with a boy!

This isn't about asking Lu Yan to take care of his younger siblings. This is about asking Zhu Hong's child to step on Lu Yan's shoulders and move up!

"What are you talking about, Lord? Yan'er is the eldest son and the legitimate heir, so he will naturally set a good example for these other children. Although he can't speak, he can write and draw. Maybe he can even help his younger brothers and sisters with their studies in the future, don't you think?"

The smile on Lu Jing's face was a little awkward. He gave Shen Ruoyan a ladder, so why did he actually climb up?

He wanted Lu Yan to take his younger brother to places like the Imperial College to meet more people.

Now that he has Qin Shaobei and Pei Rushi protecting him, won’t he be able to bring his younger brother with him in the future?

Once my brother's reputation has spread, I can then naturally request to replace the crown prince, and no one will criticize me!

If it were the other way around, what would Lu Yan be doing?!
